Wood you like to go for a hike with us? Today we are discussing The Skull Hollow Nature Trail in Oolagah, Oklahoma. The Skull Hollow Nature Trail in Oolagah is considered an easy route, it takes an average of 27 min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The best times to visit this trail are March through April. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. Oologah Lake provides a great getaway for fishing, boating, picnicking, camping or just drifting over the sky blue waters. Plenty of wide stretches of water, perfect for catching the wind, make it one of the most popular lakes in the area for sailing and catching catfish. The forested hills around the lake provide excellent hunting opportunities. The Oologah Public Hunting Area comprises almost 13,000 acres of easily accessible land managed by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. It provides excellent hunting for quail, squirrel, rabbit, deer and waterfowl. Eleven public use areas scattered around the lake offer a variety of facilities making it easy to find something that's just right for you. Recreation opportunities include a swimming beach, mountain biking, marina, RV and tent camping, picnic tables and a playground. On the east side of the lake, the Will Rogers Country Centennial Trail winds around the shore from the Spillway to Blue Creek Park, totaling 18 miles. This journey can be enjoyed by hiking or horseback riding. Horse rental is not available, so bring your own horse and enjoy the trails. News Story from News 9.

FEEL GOOD STORY - SPILLWAY THE DOG by 101.9POR

Live at The New York Studio school with Ukrainian born artist, Alla Broeksmit, and sister and poet, Stella Hayes. “The New York Studio School was founded in 1964 by Mercedes Matter, in collaboration with a group of students and faculty, during a time of cultural ferment. To this day, it is bound by a sense of mission, one that has often stood in counterpoint to the prevailing tastes of the art world. During the heyday of Pop, conceptual art, and minimalism, the School emphasized drawing, working from life, and a sustained studio practice. To delve into the history, however, is to become aware of the contradictions inherent in a school run by some of the most passionate minds of the New York art world.“ Jennifer Sachs Samet Closely held memories of childhood in Kyiv and deeply rooted remembrances of family and beloved places fuel the dreamlike imagery of Alla Broeksmit's art. Gestural brushwork and the tactility of hand-mixed pigments in the muted palette of faded frescoes lend texture and atmosphere to her expressively rendered paintings, evoking a sense of time past, recalled to the present. Broeksmit has pursued painting since the 1990s, studying at Parsons School of Design in New York City, then co-founding the Lots Road Group with fellow artists from the Heatherly School of Fine Art after moving to London in 1997. During this period, her paintings were primarily figurative and focused on portraiture, taking inspiration from the heavily impastoed, psychological portraits of Lucian Freud. In 2017, Broeksmit received her MFA from the New York Studio School, where Dean Graham Nickson encouraged her to work on a larger scale and to take “a more instinctual, visceral approach” to painting. Instructors Judy Glantzman, Kyle Staver, and Elisa Jensen were also instrumental in her development of an individualized visual language and in exposing her to the descriptive and emotional expression of color, as seen in her work. Stella Hayes is the author of a poetry collection, One Strange Country (What Books Press, November 2020). Hayes earned a creative writing degree at University of Southern California. Her work has been nominated for the Best of the Net and for the Pushcart Prize, as well as appeared in Prelude, The Poetry Project's The Recluse, The Lake and Spillway, among others, and is forthcoming from Stanford's Mantis and Poet Lore. She began her life in a book-filled home in an agricultural town an hour outside of Kiev, then part of the Soviet Union. In 1977, her family of five — her father excluded — left for the U.S., settling first in Chicago. At USC, she studied creative writing with a focus on poetry with celebrated poet David St. John, chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. More recently, she has taken advanced classes in poetry and fiction at 92Y and was asked to do a reading there in the spring of 2018. She is a graduate student at NYU M.F.A in poetry and is assistant fiction editor at Washington Square Review. theartcareer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Jane South: ⁠⁠@janesouth⁠ New York Studio School: @ny_studioschool Alla Broeksmit: @artallastudio Stella Hayes: stellahayes.com Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theartcareer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast host: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@emilymcelwreath_art⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Editing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@benjamin.galloway⁠

In November 2000, Scotty Wentzell was born with a serious congenital heart defect and a chromosomal disorder that causes physical and developmental delays. With the help of his parents, Lisa and Scott, and many organizations specializing in assisting people of many different abilities, Scotty has been able to go on amazing adventures throughout his life. Recently, Lisa co-authored a book with Heidi Bullen named, “A Dog and His Boy, The Adventures of Spillway and Scotty,” detailing the adventures of Scotty's life with his stuffed dog, Spillway.

It was one of those days that has proven I am doing exactly what I'm supposed to, where I'm supposed to, surrounded by the most amazing staff and students. We were able to create an environment where all our intensive needs students were accepted and successfully together to listen to an incredible story of friendship and acceptance for a full hour. We even got to share the story with our mainstream classes thanks to the power of technology. Inclusion matters. Everyone go out and support the amazing Lisa Wentzell, Scotty and Spillway. They have left a long-lasting impression on us and are the absolute sweetest.”  38:14 – Lisa, Scott and Heidi share some resources that have been helpful for them.     Quotes   “The kids just really take to Scotty and that's the whole point. We want them to be comfortable with Scotty. We want them to be comfortable with people like Scotty and not be afraid to go up to them and make a friend, have a friendship, so all the positive stuff that comes out of this makes you want to go back for more.” – Lisa Wentzell  “One of the ways we found out about a lot of the activities and organizations that we've engaged with, with Scotty is through other parents, other families and word of mouth. As much as we wanted to tell Scotty's story, we also wanted to shine a light on those organizations and let other families who might be in a similar position know that there is support out there, there are ways to do all these amazing activities no matter what your child's ability may be.” – Scott Wentzell   “I think the most important thing that we can do as educators is to teach children how important it is to include everybody, to make sure everybody belongs, to make sure you have empathy and you understand what other people are going through. I think as educators and us being able to go share this book with so many people and touching those lives of the children when they're young just makes for better human beings.” – Heidi Bullen     Links:   Listen to Karl Stand's episode on The PR Maven Podcast to hear more about Sugarloaf    Claudia Diller: https://www.claudiadiller.com/index.htm   Central Maine Power: https://www.cmpco.com/   Equip for Living Foundation: https://www.equipforliving.org/   Maine Adaptive Sports and Recreation: https://www.maineadaptive.org/   Special Olympics: https://www.specialolympics.org/   Best Buddies Maine: https://www.bestbuddies.org/maine/   Riding to the Top Therapeutic Riding Center: https://www.ridingtothetop.org/   Pine Tree Camp: https://pinetreesociety.org/camp-home/pinetreecamp/   Portland Wheelers: https://portlandwheelers.org/   Special Surfers: https://www.specialsurfer.org/   The Woodshed at Kennebec Cabin Company: https://thewoodshedmaine.com/   The Studio: https://thestudioportland.com/     About the guests:      Lisa and Scott Wentzell moved to Maine full-time in 1993 when they both took jobs at Sugarloaf.

Mokuhanga is a personal journey. The ups and downs of the artist are many; observing the emotions and layers of an artist simply through social media and chat rooms is complicated. Seeing a person's work is a window to who they are or want to be, their fears and desires; all these things make the mokuhanga artist so interesting to me.   On this episode of the Unfinished Print, I speak with mokuhanga printmaker and artist Ben Selby. Ben's work contains subtle emotion, powerful narratives, and unique perspectives. In my mokuhanga conversation with Ben, he speaks about his, at times, very personal experiences, how he grew up and his environment. We discuss Ben's reflection on the self in his work, his MFA thesis, the power of colour, the idea of tradition in mokuhanga, working with Richard Steiner and Terry McKenna, and alligator gar.  Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink.

"For several years I had been thinking about writing a book about my son Scotty, he has a rare syndrome and developmental delays. One day in June 2020, on Facebook someone said you should write a book about Spillway and Scotty and I said to myself yes, I've been wanting to do that, so at that moment, I texted Heidi and asked her if she would write a book about Spillway and Scotty with me and she said yes!  That was on a Tuesday and on Wednesday I was on zoom with my mom and she had said that she woke up too early that morning to get up and was thinking about Spillway and Scotty and decided to put her thoughts down on paper and it was a letter from Spillway talking about how lucky he was to be Scotty‘s friend. That's where we got the idea to write the book from Spillway's point of view. Then on that Thursday, our illustrator sent me two drawings, one of Spillway on a surfboard and one on skis and said she thought Scotty might like those for his picture book. I knew right away that this was the time and it was meant to be to write this book. So Heidi and I got together on zoom from June to August and wrote the book. Heidi has already written a couple of books and she's a third grade teacher. Having her start writing the book inspired me to write, and it was such a fun process. When she read the first lines of the book, I was in tears, and I still cry sometimes. Once we were done the book, we needed a publisher, so I put it out on Facebook, and a friend of mine connected me with Stephanie Mulligan, the publisher of McSea Books, and in our first conversation, we realized that she knew Scotty because she was an Ed Tech to one of his classmates in our school district! I knew she had to publish our book."The story behind this book and its message is one I HAD to share with you!Learn more about everything the Wentzell Family is doing at https://spillwayandscotty.com/Welcome to the Strength For Your Purpose Podcast where  Dr. Phil Finemore, PT, DPT, Cert.

What does it mean to be a White person in the US today? If you mention or see race, you're racist. If you don't mention or see race, you're racist. A few months ago, I (Loran) started an organization, The Spillway, around supporting White people to work through Perpetrator Induced Traumatic Stress (PITS) and interGenerational trauma. I offer the services within The Spillway with the acknowledgment that healing work is merely one mechanism within a larger network required to sustain our collective movement towards racial justice. I seek to grow the services available rather than redistribute where we put our efforts and funding. To get this message out there, I've asked one of the most compassionate, ferociously tender, hilarious, and incredibly smart humans I know, Jenny, to join me on this podcasting journey. Jenny and I come from similar yet separate backgrounds. Importantly, we offer incredibly different perspectives, sometimes just by who we are as people and other times by the different identities we hold. We are committed to building compassion, understanding, empathy, and patience into the present and future of Whiteness and White Culture. We cannot change the past. But, we can change the future through the actions we take today. We seek to embody the work of James Baldwin, Sonya Renee Taylor, Kazu Haga, Resmaa Menekem, and Kai Cheng Thom and countless others asking for White people to (in so many words) get our shit together. Since starting The Spillway, there's been consistent feedback—sometimes within the same space—that White people are engaging this work with closed hearts and minds This work can be difficult and beautiful. It is an exercise in vulnerability, in unlearning perfectionism, with real-world consequences, in an age of 7-second judgments. We hope The Spillway and our living in it can give others the courage that is needed to join us in this work. We know that attempting to be vulnerable and consenting to learn in public is incredibly terrifying work. And yet we have to start somewhere. Conversations of race and racism aren't going away anytime soon. Given our incredibly different places in the world, we're trying to create a middle ground where White people can get together to talk and create action around the paradox of being White in the US, where we are simultaneously the perpetrators and victims of the race and racism. We seek to embody the work of countless activists of color who have been calling White folks to seek our own healing around race and racism. So here we are, two White people committing to the work of individual and collective healing around race and racism for white people. Healing ourselves is no one's responsibility but our own. Let's Heal together and Grow to stop the impacts of race and racism in the lives of People of Color, and our lives as well. ===== Welcome to our podcast.

What does it mean to be a White man in the US today without supremacy or shame? Loran and Jenny sit down with Fred Jealous, founder of Breakthrough Men's Community, to talk about the intersection of gender and race as it applies to White men. Questions include: What are we missing when we raise boys in the US? What's so harmful about men being masculine and women being feminine? How does patriarchy hurt men? Who's a better educator: shame or love? Men have held power and decision-making capabilities in this country since its founding. Why did they need an additional space like Breakthrough, when the world is their proverbial oyster? What does it mean to be fully human? How do you feel the societal definition of what a “man” is affects white men and how they approach race and racism? In the key practices of the BMC there is mention of a “boy” who needs healing and nurturing, how much of that is related to race for White men? In your work of helping men heal, how central to that work was your own experience of Whiteness and masculinity, and how do you believe that impacted your work with men of Color? ===== Welcome to our podcast.

What does it mean to teach and talk about race and racism in our education systems? What does it mean to be White in academia? Here we sit down with Dr. Amy Hillier, MSW, Associate Professor at The School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania with the following outline: What is CRT look like in your classrooms? What are we getting right and wrong about CRT today? What are White students saying in classrooms about race and racism? How do we translate ideas into praxis? Do you see a role in emotionally and physically locating and embodying ideas? Do you think de-centering Whiteness supports or undermines Derrick Bell's concept of interest convergence? Dr. Hillier's research has focused on historical housing and public health disparities including mortgage redlining, affordable housing, healthy foods, park use and access, and outdoor advertising. Her most recent research focuses on transgender youth and their families. With Dr. Stephanie Boddie, she co-directs http://www.dubois-theward.org/ (The Ward), a research, teaching, and public history project dedicated to sharing the timeless lessons about racism and the role of research in affecting social change based on W.E.B. Du Bois' 1899 book, The Philadelphia Negro. Her teaching has focused on similar topics as her research. She led the required two-course sequence on American racism within SP2's social work program and has taught courses in city planning, urban studies, public health, and social policy focused on equity and social justice. She is the founding director of the cross-school graduate LGBTQ certificate and, with Dr. Beverley Crawford, co-created of the online course, The Penn Experience: Racism, Reconciliation and Engagement. ===== Welcome to our podcast.

Alternative title: Cancel Culture and White Women & Evangeline Weiss What does it mean to be a White woman in the US today without supremacy or shame? What does it mean to hold cancel culture as White supremacist and shame culture? Loran and Jenny sit down with Evangeline Weiss, founder of Beyond Conflict & co-founder of We Are Finding Freedom to talk about how cancel culture replicates White supremacy culture and the intersection of race and gender as it applies to White women. Questions include: How do we hold the evolving nature of the human experience amidst accountability (and accountability abuse)? How do we get more White people to center love in our work? What does forgiveness and grace look like in our work of supporting other White people? How do we make sense of the intersection of gender and race? Do White women have any inherent qualities or attributes? What, if anything, do you want to interrupt & expand within White women? How do we find other White people to unpack racial equity with? What's the role of fallibility in our work? ========== Evangeline Weiss Projects & Contact Info ========== linktree for Finding Freedom: https://linktr.ee/wearefindingfreedom.org (https://linktr.ee/wearefindingfreedom.org) https://wearefindingfreedom.org/ (Finding Freedom) is a 5 part online workshop series for white women and gender queer people to examine our internalized dominance and collusion with racism.

As this is the conclusion of the focus group, out of respect to the participants and the overall process, please make sure to listen to part one before downloading this episode What does it mean for White men to define their unfiltered experience, living in the US in the '20s? Loran and Jenny host a focus group with four White men who share their experiences of race and racism in the US today. When was the last time you heard a White man talk about what it means to be a White man without supremacy or shame? Are any stereotypes or tropes outdated? What are we getting right? What are we getting wrong? In this second episode, everyone jumps into the same conversation together. From COVID to incarceration, to wedding invites and ass-less chaps the White male participants cover a lot of ground. This conversation is part of a larger approach this season to talk about race at the intersection of gender.

What has season one taught us about what it means to be a White person in the US today without supremacy or shame? After 9 weeks, 28 hours of recording, and 12 hours of published material Jenny and Loran identify the key findings of season one. In the conclusion of our first attempt at a community assessment of White people and Whiteness, Loran and Jenny sit down to discuss the incredibly thoughtful interviews, moments, and themes which left a lasting impact on them. Questions include: What clips had the biggest impact on you and why? What five themes did you find were being repeated over and over again? What three clips keep creeping into your consciousness when you least expect them? What was the hardest thing to learn/hold and why? If you could have every White person in the US hear one clip, what would it be and why? Did anything surprise you in the making of this? What would you do over if you could? What's your biggest takeaway? What have you changed in your life since the podcast began? ========== Loran references Alok's guest appearance on The Man Enough Podcast which may be viewed https://youtu.be/Tq3C9R8HNUQ (here).
